Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), one of the longest serving members in the House, on Speaker Johnson's comments about not wanting to serve with anyone who served in the Reagan years: "I don't know why [Johnson] said that. I loved Ronald Reagan."
Smith also said he's working on three bills and defended his record, saying he's authored more bills "that have become law than anybody in the country."
"I'm working like you can't believe to get what I think are commonsense legislation passed," Smith said.
(I'll note, Smith didn't seem too offended. He was laughing.)
